Islands and Caves — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Islands and Caves is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, rated hard, for six players with up to four human participants. The two computer-only colors, Orange and Purple, are Dungeon, while the other four colors start with random factions. There are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Roughly a third of the surface is rock and close to three tenths is water, with grass and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. The premise is that each player holds an island, but a network of underground passages links the islands together. The map holds 16 towns, 116 random monster stacks, 51 random artifacts, 49 mines, and three creature banks, with dwellings for Troglodytes, Harpies, Beholders, and Gnolls, plus two timed events.
